The number of distinct real roots of the determinant |sin x, cos x, cos x; cos x, sin x, cos x; cos x, cos x, sin x| = 0 in the interval -π/4 ≤ x ≤ π/4 is:

|2A| = 2⁷

8|A| = 2⁷

Now |A| = α²–β² = 2⁴

α² = 16 + β²

α²– β² = 16

(α–β) (α+β) = 16

->α + β = 8 and

α – β = 2

->α = 5 and β = 3

|A| = 3

|B| = 1

->|C| = |ABA^T| = |A|B|A⁷| = |A|²|B|

= 9

->|X| = |A|C|²|A^T|

= 3 * 9² * 3 = 9 * 9² = 729

|A| = 2

$\underset{2024times}{\underset{?}{adj\left(adj\left(adj....\left(a\right)\right)\right)}}={\left|A\right|}^{{\left(n-1\right)}^{2024}}$            

$={\left|A\right|}^{{\left(n-1\right)}^{2024}}$                                             

$=2^{2^{2024}}$                                          

$2^{2024}=\left(2^2\right)2^{2022}=4{\left(8\right)}^{674}=4{\left(9-1\right)}^{674}$             

-> $2^{2024}\equiv 4\left(mod9\right)$

->,  $2^{2024}\equiv 9m+4$  m ¬ even

$2^{9m+4}\equiv 16\cdot {\left(2^3\right)}^{3m}\equiv 16\left(mod9\right)$
